Safematic Safeunit™
Complete monitoring and control solution
for seals and seal water systems
Installing the Safeunit™ seal water system
will ensure trouble free operation of process
machinery in all conditions and achieve the
maximum life cycle profit of your investment.
Save Seal Water
2 drops/second = 14 m3 / year
Safeunit seal water system dramatically reduces
water consumption by up to 80%. This means a
considerable drop in waste water load.
Normal operation
2.5 l/min 2.5 l/min
Changes in the pre-set system values for
flow and pressure will indicate any possible
problems in seals and system well in
advance. For automatic control, alarm
sensors can be used.
Adjusting the seal water flow and pressure
with Safeunit will create the best possible
operating environment for seals and
maximize the runnability of the process.
For example, with the water price of US $0.50/m3,
the annual savings in a mill with 300 pumps is US
$300,000 (flow reduction 4 l/min/pump).
Flow increases and
pressure decreases
2 l/min 6 l/min
4 l/min
Safeunit system also detects seal water
leakage in the process resulting in extra
heating and evaporation costs or expensive
quality problems such as dilution.
